Lots to talk about today! In the first half Andrew and Amanda try to summarize all the many, many events that go on in our stores every week. In the second half we interview Chase and Jam about the new Saugus store. Already Saugus is building a great north shore gaming community and we talk about plans and dreams for the new location.

International Tabletop Day is this weekend, but for us at Battleground EVERY day is tabletop day. Andrew and Amanda discuss our vast collection of demo games and talk about the various special events coming up for the store and how to get information on them.

Battleground Games & Hobbies is on to the next chapter! Our new location in Norton MA will be opening on Tuesday, July 5th, 2016 at 175 Mansfield Ave, Norton MA – The Greatwoods Plaza. Detail on the Grand Reopening will be coming soon.

The doors of our Plainville location will be closing after about 6 years on July 3rd.

Konami will release the new Premium Gold: Return of the Bling set for its Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG on March 20, according to the original article first reported on ICv2.com.

The Premium Gold booster was introduced last year. The release takes the best cards from the past Gold Series sets, and “enshrines” them in a gold color (gold card frames, gold art boxes frames, gold text box frames, card names and even gold level stars for Monster cards).

For this set, 22 previous Gold Rare cards have been revised with the new-and-improved advanced Gold Rare technology. This release includes 48 top cards released with Gold Rare technology for the first time, including all five pieces of “Exodia,” and “Number 101: Silent Honor ARK.” There will also be 21 new Gold Secret cards, including cards for Blackwing, Stardust and HERO decks.

Konami will introduce the Super Edition, a new package for its Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, with the Yu-Gi-Oh! The New Challengers set, the final booster set for 2014, according to hobby news website ICv2.com.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The New Challengers Super Edition will arrive on December 5, after the November 7 release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! The New Challengers Booster Pack on November 7. The Super Edition is a peg-able tuck box that contains three booster packs, plus one of 14 Super Rare cards. With an MSRP of $9.99, the cost is less than purchasing three booster packs individually. Konami has confirmed that the Super Edition will be available through both mass and hobby distribution.

The New Challengers set is the first time players can harness the full power of the Pendulum Summoning mechanic in their decks. It introduces the Qliphort, a new Monster theme that harnesses the power of Pendulum Summoning like nothing before.

The Burning Abyss theme, which is unique to the American market, will receive more support with this release, including a brand new Synchro Monster; as will players with Naturia, Heralds, and Machina theme decks. New Xyz monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal TV series are included, as are cards for players with Superheavy Samurai, Satellarknight, Yang Zing, and Shaddoll theme decks. The 100-card set contains 48 Commons, 20 Rares, 14 Super Rares, 10 Ultra Rares, and 8 Secret Rare Cards.
